Professor Rogers is a social psychologist with an exceptional track record of designing and delivering over £25 million of collaborative research projects funded by a variety of sources. Her work focuses on perceptions of and responses to risk and threat, and risk communication. The majority of these projects investigate public and practitioner responses to low likelihood, high-impact events such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) accidents or attacks. Others explore protecting crowded places; business continuity resilience; pathways into violent radicalisation; insider threat; pandemics; and community resilience.
